the view out of the bathroom was impressive, as well. (it was not raining.)

and the extras! take a look at the spa quality hospitality basket in the bathroom. specially labelled so you know what to use where!

now, we fast forward to the best part of the trip, meeting the utahnians! I'm angry I didn't take more pictures. I thought I had, but lo and behold, no. especially of kodi, since there's only one of her. sorry, kods! (can I call you kods?)

rebecca, aka missuzj, checks out bella for the first time.

a sean's eye view of the table. and this proves I really like rebecca because I'm posting this picture despite how awful it makes my arms look.

it's katy!

the lone picture of kodi. sorry!

katy, bella, trent

kiri and the copper man - check that face out. she clearly hates him.

but look, she's a good sport.

sadly, that's all I have of the festivities. these are all just random pictures of the rest of our visit.

a guy took this picture of us and didn't use the flash. whatev.

kodi, becca, et al - this is for you. state of the art karaoke machine at FAO Schwartz.

this is for nicole. remember when we were at jen's pollyanna thingie and you got the stuffed whatchamahicky? it has a name. anyways, this is the huge floor-cushion version.

I would love for you to call me Kods. Don't worry about the lack of pictures, I think I look much better in person anyway.Loved the pictures of Kiri. The bronze man was kinda creepy. And I like a good mother made her stand by him for a picture.

Aaw, I like you so much I'll even forgive you for posting that picture of me where my shoulders look all lumpy and my head looks tiny. That was so fun. So sorry for the grunge of the first hotel. And the puke of the second. But so glad we got to meet. Aw, good times.

Great pics! Thanks for getting them up, I hope there were no icky bugs in the basement involved. It's sort of surreal to see my sisters, in Vegas, with you guys. I feel like I really should have been there, especially since I WAS there the week before. Both with my sisters, and in Vegas, but not at the same time. Weird.
